Spotlight

A free verse

The curtain rose,
and the show began:
A performance of the chronicles of Life — 
Insecurity and Confidence
fighting for Spotlight,
‘will I be able to do this?
or I will do this!’
how ‘good’ is
‘good enough’?
second-guessing
even the indecisiveness;
allowing detractors to sway Confidence,

The moment of hesitation
before every act;
slowly turned into certainty,
embracing all imperfections,
with the entry of new characters:
Morale and Self-esteem
Life’s theatrical reached a climax,
Confidence having more characters
to back her up,
learned to deal with Insecurity,
to keep her in undertones,
and live Life with confident overtones!
